Duplicates in 'content:' searches

[Gisle Vanem]

First, a million thanks for a super program and the EveryThing SDK which I
use in my https://github.com/gvanem/EnvTool program.

To the issue: I found many forum topics related to Duplicates. But not Duplicates together with content: ...''

Like in this screen-shot:


2 of the exact same syserr.cpp. Any reason for this. Except for (yikes) a bug?
I use EveryThing ver. 1.4.1.895 (x64)

PS. when used in my envtool program as c:\>envtool --evry -s sy*.cpp content:sys_errlist
it reports the duplicate like:

What are your results if you search for syserr.cpp?

Do you have a folder index which might be duplicating these results from Tools -> Options -> Folders?

The same.

Do you have a folder index which might be duplicating these results from Tools -> Options -> Folders?

That seemed to be it. I had these:

• c:\Program Files
  c:\Program Files (x86)

Removing them and selecting Rescan Now fixed it.
But, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to remove them. Isn't it true that a content:foo search is much faster when those folders are indexed?

That seemed to be it. I had these:

c:\Program Files
c:\Program Files (x86)

These folders are already indexed as NTFS volumes.
You should see your C: drive listed in Tools -> Options -> NTFS.

Isn't it true that a content:foo search is much faster when those folders are indexed?

content: will only search files that you have indexed.

[Gisle Vanem]

content: will only search files that you have indexed.

I don't get it. Meaning I will get lots of duplicates if I really want the handy content:foo feature?

Everything can search content for all the files it has in it's database.

Your files were twice in the database: once through NTFS indexing of your C:-drive (Menu:Tools > Options > NTFS) and once through folder indexing your Program Files folder (Menu:Tools > Options > Folder).
And thus found twice with your search query.

Remove the folder indexing ones and all your files on the C:-drive will still be in the database.
Now your search query will return the file once.
